This Black History Month, discover some of the fascinating Black figures whose lives and stories have connections to Hampstead.

We’ve brought together their stories in a special walking trail exploring the people, places and histories that form part of Hampstead’s rich heritage. You can download the trail from our website or pick up a printed copy when you visit Burgh House.

Pictured here is Baron David Pitt (1913–1994), a Grenadian-born British doctor, Labour politician and prominent campaigner against racial discrimination. He became the first Black person to lead a London borough council and later served in the House of Lords, where he championed racial equality and human rights.

Pitt was also a Patron of Burgh House. This wonderful photograph from our museum collection captures him opening the museum in 1979 alongside fellow Patron Princess Helena Moutafian.

Follow the trail to discover more of the people and stories that connect Black history with Hampstead.
